UT FLEX Grace Period and Claim Filing Deadline

The UT FLEX Grace Period allows UT FLEX Health Care Reimbursement Account participants an additional 2 ½ months each year (September 1 through November 15) to incur eligible expenses at the end of the plan year. By incurring eligible health-related purchases or services during the grace period, UT FLEX medical participants can avoid forfeiting any leftover funds from the 2010-2011 plan year that ended on August 31, 2011.

Notice for UT FLEX Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA) Members: The grace period for your 2010-2011 UT FLEX HCRA will end on Tuesday, November 15, 2011.

Notice for Dependent Day Care Reimbursement Account Members: The grace period does not apply to the Dependent Day Care Account.

UT FLEX Claims Filing Deadline

All UT FLEX claims for the 2010-2011 plan year (which ended August 31, 2011), including those incurred during the additional 2 ½ month grace period for the Health Care Reimbursement Account, must be filed no later than Wednesday, November 30, 2011, or they will not be eligible for reimbursement.
